such purpose, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, for maintaining thecuspidor in an upright position when the stand is tilted or upset, undersuch conditions preventing the spilling of the contents of the cuspidor.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a cuspidor stand, whichis simple in its construction and arrangement, strong,

durable, efficient and convenient in its use, readily set up, andlnexpenslve to manu-, facture. 1

With the foregoing andother objects in view, the invention consists ofthe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts ashereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,but it'is to be understood that changes, variations and modificationscan be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereuntoappended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views :-Figure 1 is a top plan view of acuspidor stand in accordance with this invention and showing theadaptation thereof in connection with the cuspidor, the latter beingillustrated in sectional plan, Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the standshowing the adaptation thereof in connection with the cuspidor, and Fig.3 is a sectional elevation showing the stand and cuspidor.

Referring to the drawings in detail 42, denotes the cuspidor body, 5 theneck of the cuspidor and 6 the cuspidor mouth piece and which isfunnel-shaped.

The reference characters 7, 8, 9 and 10 denote a series of verticallydisposed curved supporting legs and secured to the inner faces of saidlegs centrally with respect to these latter, is an annular supportingmember 11 provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings 12, forthe pintles 13 of a gambrel ring 14. Mounted upon the pintles 13 and,interposed between the ring 14 and member 11 are washers 15. The ring 14is provided with diametrically opposed bearings 16, and which areinterposed between the bearings 12, and mounted in the bearing 16 arearms 17, which project from semi-circular clamping members 18surrounding the neck 5 of the cuspidor. The clamping members 18 areformed with arms 19, which are of less length than the arms 17 and thesaid arms '19 are clamped as at 20to the arm 17 under such conditionsthe cuspidor is supported from and pivotally connected with the gambrelring 14:.

The arms 17 are provided with stop collars 21 to arrest outward movementof the arms 17.

The cuspidor is suspended within the frame and does not extend to thesupport upon which the frame is mounted and the legs 7 to 10 projectabove and below the cuspidor and either end of the legs can be utilizedfor positioning the stand upon the floor or other support.

What I claim is 1. A cuspidor stand comprising a plurality of clampingmembers adapted to be secured to the neck of a cuspidor and includingarms, a gambrel ring provided with a pair of diametrically opposedbearings in which extend the said arms whereby the clamping member ispivotally supported from said ring, a series of vertically disposedlegs, an annular member integral with the inner faces of said legsintermediate the ends thereof and provided with a pair of diametricallyopposed bearings, and pintles carried by said ring and mounted in thebearings in said annular member.

2. A cuspidor stand comprising a plurality of clamping members adaptedto be secured to the neck of a cuspidor and including arms, a gambrelring provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings in whichextend the said arms whereby the clamping member is pivotally supportedfrom said ring, a series of Vertically disposed legs, an annularmemberintegral with the inner faces of said legs intermediate the endsthereof and provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings,pintles carried by said ring and mounted in the bearings in said annularmember, and said legs being of greater height than the cuspidor andsupported by the clamping member.

. 3. A cuspidor stand comprising a plurality of clamping members adaptedto be secured to the neck of a cuspidor and includ ing arms, a gambrelring provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings in whichextend the said arms whereby the clamping member is pivotally supportedfrom sai'd ring; a' series of Vertically disposed legs, an annularmember integral With the inner faces of said legs intermediate the ends.thereofand provided With a pair of diametrically opposed bearings,pintles carried, by said ring and mounted in the bearings ainsaidannularmember, Washer mounted-npon, said pintle and interposed betweensaidannulan member and ring, and stop collarsmounted upon said-armsinwardly with respect tor-said. ring.

4.1 m. cuspidor stand comprising a series of vertically disposedsegment-shaped legs,

an annular member integral with the inner 20' 'of'semi-circularoppositely disposed clamping members adapted to suspend a cuspidorWithin said ring and provided With arms pivotally mounted in said ring,and means for connecting said clamping members together.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of twoWitnesses.
